One veteran is preparing for a season in which, if all goes well for the Rangers, he will play less than he has in any of his 16 seasons in the NHL.
Throughout camp, younger guys will try to make a positive impression on management and the coaching staff in a bid to earn more ice time and greater responsibility.
“But certainly [for young players] when that opportunity presents itself, they’ve got to knock the door down.” Jonathan Quick, who has put together a Hall of Fame career with the Kings, is the Rangers’ backup goalie this season.“I don’t feel like it’s a different job,” said the Connecticut native, who agreed to a one-year free agent contract for $825,000 with the Rangers on July 1 after coming off the 10-year, $58 million deal he signed with the Kings in the flush of his first Stanley Cup victory in 2012. “My job still is to stop the puck when I’m called upon.
It should help, though, that Quick gained some experience in that role after being traded to Vegas at the deadline last season. He did not play a minute in the Golden Knights’ Stanley Cup run, instead filling the role of understudy for Laurent Brossoit and Adin Hill to earn his third ring.Getty Images
